Quote "The Rev. Kenneth Copeland of Fort Worth, Texas, urged the family (of Minister Billy Joe Daugherty) and others to resist grief and sorrow, which deny the reality that they will see him again." End quote
This statement to me heaps condemnation upon those in grief.

Does the word of God tell us to resist grief and sorrow when we loose a loved one?
Many today who have no natural affection, attempt to unnaturally stifle the emotions of others.
John 11:33-36-In relation to the death of Lazarus of Bethany
33. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34. And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
36. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Christ had compassion for these people, and He wept with those who wept, He didn't tell them to stifle the emotion of grief, that one who loves, displays toward the deceased.
I once witnessed a woman telling a 4 year old little girl, whose feelings were hurt-"We don't cry unless were hurt".... well the child was hurting, in her heart. We have a generation who is hardened and have no love of God in them, therefore no compassion toward others.
Romans 12:15
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Granted we don't have to sorrow as those who have no hope, for our hope is in Christ, but there is a time and a season for grief and sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
5. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
7. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Saints we can become so hardened in our spirits these days, that we can come to the place of Kenneth Copeland who is a false teacher and a reprobate. Such a man as he shall be bought to a place of mourning and he will know grief and sadness of heart.
We must always keep the heart of Christ who wept with those who wept and rejoiced with those who rejoiced.

Jesus weeps because the world is in sin & immorality. Kenneth Copeland weeps for more money & planes ! With $760 million/- to his name, what's the big idea of getting the church to pony up money for his planes ? Why does he need 3 ? One, if at all, should suffice. Isn't a charlatan known for fraudulent activity ? Copeland is NO messenger for Jesus. Just a fucked up lame cunt, with too much luxury. He has his cock rooted up his arse, with his balls(if he has balls) in tow ! And he preys on people, giving the false impression that he is all out for Jesus. His actions are the evidence. Copeland tries to scam people using Christianity but he is a sore loser. He has defrauded the church by getting the congregation to buy his planes. And he talks out of his cock(sermons with no substance) because he does NOT practise what he preaches. Copeland, Benny Cunts Hinn, Creflo Dollar & Jesse Duplantis should all turn over new leaves before its too late.
